Primal strike macro

hey, im just wondering how a macro for primal strike would look like. :



first i wanna change from my 1hs to 2h, then use primal strike, then change back to 1hs



any1 who can tell me how?



tnx
 
since i suck at making macros, i reckon you could try something like, make a gearset w\ the 2 hander, keybind it to F1, pop primal strike in @ the F2 slot, and put your normal gear @ F3? this should (literally) be a faceroll :3

This may seem like a good idea but remember that you reset your swing timer everytime you swap weapons so this will actually hurt your burst.

would it be somthing like

/Equip (the name of your 2 h)

/Cast Primal Strike

/Equipe (one h)



But you'd have to assign the 1h'ers to slots, rather than typing /equip it would be /equipslot (1h name) MH = slot 16, OH = slot 17



Hopefully this helps, I'm in a hurry and kinda have to go



Try WoWWiki and google!



Peace
 
Sometwink's macro looks right, except for the extra "e" in the second "equip".



But, isn't there some small delay between equipping a weapon and being able to use it? It's possible that b/c macros treat each line as occurring almost simultaneously (tho, in order) that macro would get the error message, "Must have a melee weapon equipped". But, it's easy enough to make and test on a target dummy.



Also, if you swap from a 2H to MH/OH or 1H/shield, the off-hand slot won't equip and will give the error message that you can't equip the off-hand slot with a 2H equipped.



I have to hit my weapon-equip macro twice when I have a fishing pole equipped, for example. First time, the 1H equips. Second time, the off-hand equips.
 
These should work, can't try because the servers are down but let me know how it goes.



/console Sound_EnableSFX 0

#showtooltip Primal Strike

/equip 2Hander

/cast Primal Strike

/equipslot 16 MainHand

/equipslot 17 OffHand

/console Sound_EnableSFX 1



On first press, it equips your 2Hander and uses Primal Strike. On second hit, it equips your MainHand and OffHand again. Ofcourse replace "2Hander, MainHand and OffHand" with the weapon names. Since you'll be using your 2Hander, you'll most likely want to have a Weapon Imbue on it. To make putting your weapon imbue on your 2Hander easier, use this macro:



/console Sound_EnableSFX 0

#showtooltip Flametounge Weapon

/cast [@none] Flametounge Weapon

/click StaticPopup1Button1

/use 2Hander

/console Sound_EnableSFX 1



Simply put, it puts the Weapon Imbue on your 2Hander while it's in your bags - but will still work if it is equipped. Enjoy
 
I've been trying to find a good avengers shield macro for prot paladin



I want to run around with 2 hander as prot for dps and CS but I want to be able to quickly use avengers shield for interupts and damage. I'll try the top macro it looks promising.

Haven't tried.

Code:
/equipslot [equipped:shields] 16 (1h); 17 (shield)

/cast Avenger's Shield

/equip 2h
 
i suppose this would work w\ warriors, equip 2-hander for execute, swap back?
 
I think the bleed is the only warrior special that cares about weapon damage range anymore and that others are based only on AP.



Again, to change (back) from a 2H to two 1H's, you have to hit your macro button twice. Because the two equip commands in the macro are considered to happen at same time, you're trying to equip the off-hand slot while you still have the 2H equipped and you get the message saying 'cannot equip that with a 2h equipped' or w/e it says.

Why would a warrior want to execute with a 2h?



i wasn't really thinking, thats why :S
 
It truly amazes to read threads like this over and over. If you're wondering about something... hmm.. I don't know, try searching it and you'll see we've probably been over this before. Do I and other competent players have to constantly come back to these forums to keep our bracket from turning into a retard fuck fest?



Anyway to HELP the original poster... Primal Strike macros are BAD as enhance. They significantly lower your DPS and/or burst. Rivfader had it right but people continued to post, ignoring the correct response. Again to reiterate what Riv said, when you change your weapon you reset your swing timer and LOSE dmg.



If you set out to increase DPS and you lose it, even a special olypmpics athlete could figure out that's probably not a good thing. Don't screw up our bracket you young tinks.
